I could've been 21037, I am not sure. The livery is reverse corporate livery, it has a red front and is mostly blue. I like the livery actually, but it looks GNE inspired, rather than Stagecoach.

When it passed earlier it stopped at the bus stop and looked to change drivers. I have seen it a few times so thought it might be used in service as emergency cover. I would like to see the livery used on the in service buses as the corporate livery is too white and fairly bland, despite the bold colours used and I actually liked the old white and stripe livery. Stagecoach is due for a livery change I think.
